yachtsmen, eager TO discuss every point in

glimpse of the contestants during their
preparation for the trip.
OF late years the majority of yachtsmen
have taken to the steam yacht which is sim
ply a floating machine operated by an en-
gineer and pilot, requiring but little skill or
experience in handling The sailing vessel
on the other hand requires both skill and ex-
perience in a great degree, together with
bravery and endurance on the part Of the
navlgatOrs.
The owner of the Coronet, r. l. Bush,
posted challenge on the first Of the year, in
viting Owners Of all American keel schooner
yachts" TO compete with his vessel Gin a race
across the Atlantic, from Sandy Hook to
Queenstown" This challenge was backed by
a certified check for $4,000
The Coronet is one of the finest and largest
sailing yachts ahoat She was put i'll COM
mission only year ago, and proved herself a
very fleet and staunch craft Last summer
her owner with his family took a trip in her
across the Atlantic TO Europe and back, and
it is Mr. Bushs purpose, when his sons COM
plete their collegiate course, to take them
with him on a trip around the world before
establishing them in business life.
She is 1873 feet in length, with q feet beam
and l213 feet draught, and cost $4,000.
The Daily times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1886-1889, 1887-03-03

The Dauntless is ten feet shorter than the
Coronet and has two feet less beam, for which
some time allowance must be made. She is
considered one of the heetest of the large
pleasure yachts But many seafaring men
claim that an ocean rage is more a matter of
luck than a test of speed, as the yachts are
separated by many miles and are therefore
sailing in different winds and currents. The
experienced sailing master will endeavor TO
keep his vessel in the course of the most
favorable winds and currents, and this is the
test of the seaman and the point that lends
most interest to this race

CHEAP FUEL FOR NEVADA.

The Central Pacific Company has
Just made a notable reduction in the
freight rate on coal from Wyoming.
Following is the tariff; To Corinne
81 per ton; to Wells $4.20; Elko
$4.4O; Palisade $3.50; Reno 90.
If the Central Pacific can afford to
carry coal at those rates, there is no
good reason why the Oregon Short
Line should not do it. Under this
tariff the charge to Shoshone would
be about 81 per ton; to HALEY $3.50
per ton-making the cost Of Rock
Springs coal just about $3.50 per ton.
If the railway managers made this
reduction they could easily treble or
quadruple their coal business on Wood
River. With fir at $3.50 and cotton.
wood at $3.50 the advantage would
be in favor Of coal by at least so per
cent, and many who now burn wood
would consume nothing else but coal.
